dc.description.abstract | This thesis presents a hardware design of a coherent demodulator for shaped offset quadrature phase shift keying, telemetry group version (SOQPSK-TG) for use in forward error correction (FEC) applications. Implementation details for data sequence detection, symbol timing synchronization, carrier phase synchronization, and block recovery are described. This decision-directed demodulator is based on maximum likelihood principles, and is efficiently implemented by the soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA). The design is intended for use in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Simulation results of the demodulator's performance in the additive white Gaussian noise channel are compared with a Matlab reference model that is known to be correct. In addition, hardware-specific parameters are presented. Finally, suggestions for future work and improvements are discussed. | |
